ROSE CHARM Is Ideal for Arrangements 
Oriental Pear] s —s (506) (Carlson, 1946) (85 days) (Picardy x Un- 
known) This giant cream is no glamorous figure- 
skater but the fat lady of the glad circus. You can have her, I don’t want her! 
(L 1-.50; 10-4.00) (M 1-.35; 10-3.00) (S 1-.25; 10-2.00) (Blbts. 10-.40) 
wz *& wk & «(416) (K. & M., 1947) (80 days) Named from the brook in 
Pactolus o ee Asia Minor which was the legendary source of King Croe- 
sus’ wealth, this glad is one of the most unusual in our entire list. Its prominent red blotch 
reminds one of the setting sun fading to the soft amber of the evening sky. The large 
florets are beautifully ruffled. Excellent propagator. Pictured on page 28. 
(Large, $5.00 each) 
* *& *& (342) (B. Palmer 1940) (85 days) (Paul Pfitzer x H. Kans- 
Pandora e ¢ © jeiter) X Picardy) A soft coral, with deeper blotch that is a 
particularly happy combination. Opens a goodly number on a medium height spike. Has 
been overlooked by cut-flower growers. We believe in it. Arranges well. A happy grower 
and spiker. 
(L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (Blbts. Pkg. .20) 
Pastel * * * (480) (Both, 1942) (95 days) A pastel blend of smoke, rose and 
ee velvety grey. Petals are edged with steel blue. I was deeply in 
love with this unusual blend of colors last summer. Spikes had difficulty standing on 
their feet, but you'll bring Pastel in the house where you can live with her. Would com- 
bine well with yellows and rose shades. Plants are generous in growth and propagation. 
(L 1-.35; 10-3.00) (M 1-.25; 10-2.00) (S 1-.20; 10-1.50) (Blbts. 10-.30)
